700 pages? Wow! You have got a big job on your hands!
Obviously, it's easier to optimize a site from day one rather than having to put it all on hold when you are 700 pages in to go back and start optimizing.
So what can you do now? Well, you know what? If you are already ranking on Google and Yahoo you must have been doing something right all along. As your site gets older you will gain more points at the engines just through being around a long time. So its not all bad!
What kind of SEO software have you got? If you have something like web CEO or similar you would probably be best to relax about the pages that are already up and keep on adding new pages that are optimized.
The digital world moves pretty fast so new products will be coming up all the time. Write optimized pages for new products then slowly start to work your way backwards through your other products. Concentrate on the ones that are most popular now.
If a product has been overtaken by some new product just leave it for a while. You can ge to them all eventually but it is most important in your line to concentrate on the new big thing that everyone is going to be searching for.
Optimize important and popular pages first - most of the others will get found through good internal linking in the short term.
Set yourself a target of say two new pages a week plus optimizing three others depending on how much time you spend on the site. It may take time to do everything but at least you are still adding new pages and that is really important at the engines. If you stop adding new content in order to play about with old pages you will see your rankings drop for sure.
If you want to send me the URL so I can have a closer look and be a bit more specific, send me an email through Yahoo and I'll be able to be a bit more specific.
Good luck,

Rather than SEOing 700 webpages, merely concentrate on the opening splash/index.html webpage with the principal SEO metatags properly composed and entered.
The following article may prove helpful to you in streamlining your SEO metatags in order to attract more Net traffic by higher search engine placement.
The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.
Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.
You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or
DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which
should consist of no more than 60 characters separated
by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the "Description" which is
usually up to 41 words to form a complete paragraph which
best describes one's goods and services. It is not merely a list.
And the very last category - "Keywords" are also
somewhat limited to 15 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google's spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.
Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query
"sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave
out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net"
is ranked. It's on the SECOND FRONT [ranked 15]!
Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google's publication guidelines.
Good luck! |
